Abstract

An optical film 40 includes a sheet-shaped base material 41 ; an information pattern including a plurality of marks 42 provided on one surface of the base material 41 and representing information regarding a position thereof on the optical film 40 ; and a sheet member 43 laminated on the surface of the base material 41 on which the information pattern is provided, so as to fill spaces between the plurality of marks 42 . When visible light having a wavelength of 700 nm is transmitted through the information pattern in a thickness direction of the information pattern, a phase difference between light transmitted through each mark 42 and light transmitted through the sheet member 43 between the marks 42 is equal to or less than Π/6.

Claims (19)

1. An optical film comprising:

a sheet-shaped base material;

an information pattern including a plurality of marks provided on one surface of the base material and representing information regarding a position thereof on the optical film; and

a sheet member laminated on the surface of the base material on which the information pattern is provided, so as to fill spaces between the plurality of marks, wherein

when visible light having a wavelength of 700 nm is transmitted through the information pattern in a thickness direction of the information pattern, a phase difference between light transmitted through each mark and light transmitted through the sheet member between the marks is equal to or less than Π/6.

2. The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein, when visible light having a wavelength of 400 nm is transmitted through the information pattern in the thickness direction of the information pattern, a phase difference between light transmitted through each mark and light transmitted through the sheet member between the marks is equal to or less than Π/6.

3. The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein a difference between a refractive index of each mark and a refractive index of the sheet member is equal to or less than 0.005.

4. The optical film according to claim 1 , wherein a thickness of each mark is equal to or larger than 5 μm.

5. An optical film comprising:

a sheet-shaped base material;

an information pattern including a plurality of marks provided on one surface of the base material and representing information regarding a position thereof on the optical film; and

a sheet member laminated on the surface of the base material on which the information pattern is provided, so as to fill spaces between the plurality of marks, wherein

a difference between a refractive index of each mark and a refractive index of the sheet member is equal to or less than 0.005.

6. The optical film according to claim 1 , further comprising an intermediate layer formed between the sheet member and each mark, wherein

a refractive index of the intermediate layer is a value between a refractive index of the sheet member and a refractive index of each mark.

7. A display panel comprising:

a display panel main body configured to display an image; and

the optical film according to claim 1 , provided on the display panel main body.

8. A display device comprising the display panel according to claim 7 .
